The first number of the Helena CRITIC
has come t. hand. 1t is a bi-monthly pa
per, and as We understand is an ametuer
organ edited by some of the High School
pupils. 1t is a very ereditable little paper
and We wish it a long life of usefulness,
in which it will increase IN power for good
continually.

a good way of when some men will cease
to u stock loose to rustic and freeze aud
starye to death, unless there be d strict
herd law enacted in the near future. To
say the least it is an act of absolute, cold
blooded lnhumanity to allow the stock to
suffer as they do, when it could be almost
completely averted if owners would only
act as they might.

THE letter entitled Facts in the Case"
should be read with attention by all good
citizens OF Great Falls and surrounding
country. The writer of it has, we think,
hit upon the real reasons why 5 0 many do
not want the county of Great Falls to be
formed, with this town as the county seat.
The reasons are envy, Jealousy, and kind
red mental diseases. Those towns which
raise the fercest objections are many years
older than Great Falls, and partly for this
reason claim the precedence. Have these
towns never seen men young in years,
mere boys in fact, placed in higher and
more honorable positions than individuals
much older than themselves, because they
were more trustworthy and better adaped
for such posts of honor? OF course they
have. And this rule applies to towns as
we'll as to individuals. Great Falls, the
giant two-yearold baby town, was healthy
and strong at birth, grew amazing from
the beginning, is growing yet and increas-
ing in power day by day. She is outstrip-
ping these older, less vigorous communi-
ties, and they are afraid of her. They
would chain her down and hold her in con
allegiance were it possible, but it is
not; our citizens and friends know and
are proud Of it. Any town or any indivldu-
al that thinks Great Falls will not eventu-
ally be the county seat of her own county,
will find out the mistake.

until the next Monday. The venerable Fran
lin, wearied and almost exhausted, devoted
Sunday to preparing speech in which, by
acute but homely arguments and ilustra-
tions he strove to heal the differences. On
Monday, the 18th, Washington, after one
last amendment relating to the ratio of Con-
gressional representation had been made, put
the question and the Constitution of the
United States of America" was ratified by
the convention. Washington affixed his sig
nature to the instrument first; others follow
ed; but sixteen, including Randolph, Gerry
and Mason, never signed it. For New York,
Alexander Hamilton alone signed.
All the States did not hasten to ratify the
Constitution. North Carolina did not con-
sent to join the Union until 1889, and still
later little Rhode Island came in after the
other States had threatened to treat her as
foreign power. But many States that had
ratified It were not wholly satisfied with the
instrument, and at the proposition of Con-
gress the States added ten amendments in
1871, another in 1898, and still another in
1901 From that time until the great amend
ments added at the close of our civil war,
the work of Washington and his fellow pa
triots was untouched.

Centennial of the Constitution.

On the 18th Of September, 1887, one hun
dred years ago to-day. a remarkable body of
men were gathered in Philadelphia. They
had before them the completed form Of
document on which they had labored and
disputed with closed doors and under an
oath of secrecy since the month of May.
The document was the constitution of the
UNITED States Of America" new nation
created upon the face Of the earth. At the
close OF the revolutionary war Articles of
Confederation were adopted, which vested a
slight authority over the discordant colonies
In Congress of a single house. In theory
the powers of this Congress were at best very
limited; in fact they amounted to almost
nothing The demand for new arrange
ment was imperative: the call for conven-
ton OF delegates from the colonies was gen.
orally approved, and the men selected for
the great duty Of laying the foundations of
nation were worthy the high task. Vir-
ginia, the oldest colony, sent George Wash
ington, James Madison, Governor Edmund
Randolph, afterwards member of Wash.

Wythe, John Blair and James NeClury
Thomas Jefferson was abroad as Minister to
France, Patrick Henry and Richard Henry
Lee had refused to serve as delegates. Mas
sachusetts sent Caleb Strong, EIbridge
Gerry, afterwards to be Vice President of
the United States, and Rufus King, a native
of Scarborough in the District of Maine, an
elder brother of that William King, who
was Names first Governor, a fierce hater of
slavery, and destined to be a prominent
statesman, even presidential candidate in
the nation which he helped to form. From
Connecticut came Roger Sherman. like

There is an indelniteness about the AS
ISOLATED Press despatch announcing the dec
lination of Special Liquor Constabes Loring
and orne of Rockland. They have resigned
because of $50 strong an opposition to their
appointment" Was this opposition directed
against their characters as men and citizens9
This would seem hardly probable. as such
opposition, had it amounted to anything,
would have appeared before the Governor
and Council and would probably have pre-
vented their nomination. But the only
other good reason for such "strong opposi-
ton" would be that there is in Rockland so
strong an opposition to the enforcement OF
the law by State constables that it has terri
fed Messrs. Loring and Orne into declining
their appointments

The confirmation of the sentence of the
Chicago anarchists by the Supreme Court of
Illinois is a matter for congratulation all
over the country. When these men are
hanged on the fourteenth of next November
the business of reducing society to chaos
will have lost its charms for Most and his
disciples, and the spread of their iniquitous
doctrines will have received an effectual
check. The escape of these men would have
proved stimulus to every believer in their
doctrines to attempt the realization of them.
As it is the head of this serpent is pretty
severely bruised.

According to Mr.. Winslow Warren, one of
the head Boston Mugwumps. this year will
be one of waiting. They don't like Gov.
Ames and they don't like most of the men
who have been mentioned as Democratic
candidates for Governor. Leopold Morse,
ne thinks, they would vote for, which shows
that the average Boston Mugwump is not so
spiritual as to be entirely insensible to the
Establishments of well-flled barrels and we'll
loaded dinner tables. What the Boston
Mugwump is chiefly worrying over is the
danger Of doing something to hurt Mr..
Cleveland and he fears that to fight the
Democratic ticket this fall might have that
effect. So he has about made up his mind
that if the Democracy does not nominate
man good enough for him to vote for he will
sit on the fence. This is an uncomfortable
position for him to take; and considering
the loud proclamations Of he has been
in the habit of making, a rather humiliating
one. Since DIR. William Everett sung the
praises of the Mugwump bird in heroic verse
that biped has got his feathers damp and is
now inclined to keep nearer the ground.

lowing in the footsteps of Blackstone or Nc
Neatly We would recommend that he first
see young Massachusetts, man who, becom-
ing tired of living an honest life in the good
society Of Salem, started for Canada in 1881,
leaving sorrowing friends and defrauded
creditors behind him. For six years he has
led the wild, free life of a genteel outlaw,
travelling nearly all over tie world. He
went first to Canada, thence to Mexico, Tex
as, through the West, across to the old coun-
try, visited Paris, and finally came back to
New York. There he decided that he had
had enough of such life, and, without mon
ey or friends, he started for Salem. Tuesday
afternoon, ragged, foot-sore and travelled
stained wretch, he arrived at the police sta
tion Of the city where he had once been
prominent in business and courted in the
best society. The only good luck he has had
in those six years has been the good luck of
getting home.

1t is in order for the Canadian newspapers
to attribute the failure of the mackerel fish,

In letter to Governor Ames of Massachu-
sets Col. Carroll ID. Wright speaks very
strongly in favor of the abolition of machin-
cry from our prisons and the employment Of
hand labor only. The employment of con-
victs under the hard labor system offers, he
thinks, every possibility for reformatory
efforts, debases no convict, even those who
have arrived at middle age, helps to develop
the unframed faculties of the young man,
and further reduces the irritation resulting
from the manufacture of goods in prisons to
its minimum power. Under this system
classification is easier and the separation of
incorrigible criminals from those not beyond
the possibility of reform. An ideal system
is impossible of attainment, but Of the prac-
tical systems the employment Of only hand
labor on public account or at the piece price
plan Is, he believes, the best.

The last move the Dominion government
to check the refractory Manitobans is to ask
for two bills of injunctions in the name Of
the Minister of Justice, restraining the Red
River Valley road from crossing government
property in st. Agatha. This action has
created intense indignation throughout the
Province, but it has by no means disheart-
ened the people, who are as determined as
ever to rid themselves of what they consider
to be the grinding monopoly of the Canadian
Pacific. 1t looks, however, as if the obsta-
Gle which these injunctions will present was
to be by no means the worst one in the rail-
roads pathway. At last accounts Premier
Norquay had failed to float the roads bonds,
and If he does not succeed in the future there
will Be lack of money which will be much
Sofe fatal to the scheme than the lack of
consent on the part of the Dominion govern
ment.

1t looks as though the Democratic organi-
cation had let slip its one grand opportunity,
because of its reactionary elements. 1t seems
instinctiyely to oppose progress.
THE MITCHELLsTowN MASSACRE.
New York Evening Post]
1t is impossible to conceive that modern
England can persist in policy which yields
such harvest Of horrors Free assemblage
and free speech are too closely interviewer
with all that has made England great and
prosperous to permit this Mitchellstown
massacre to multiply and reproduce its kind,
as it surely will If the coercion policy is per-
sisted in, We call it a massacre because it
is as we'll fitted to bear that name as the
Boston massacre Of ITO. Both events had
been prepared by long experience of tyr
amy and a coarse trampling on the most re-
spectacle feelings of human nature. If any
body will take the history of colonial Amer
lea and the contemporaneous history of Ire
land and read them side by side, he will
wonder far more at the submissiyeness of
the latter than at the rebellion of the former.
The wrongs of Ireland were infinitely great
er than those of America.
